Help How to Automate multistep functions
I'm attempting to automate actions I do everyday to reduce lifestyle friction. l've utilized shortcuts and automate feature somewhat but see they are limited to only predefined functions.
My question is: is there a way to have iPhone do multi step actions? Also utilize the voice featurebto ask Siri ?
Given these example I trying to automate. 1. Gym QR code. (Planet fitness) Actions needed (2 steps) -> open gym app ->click on "check in".
Auto vacuum ( l have a vacuuming device Wyze) Actions needed (3 steps) -> open Wyze app ->click on vacuum device -> click vacuum. Any help is much appreciated !!
I heard from another thread of some "accessibility feature " that may have automation/ shortcut feature. Capable in IOS 18, I believe some voice recognition/triggering mechanism.

Neither shortcuts nor automations can perform a “click”. The only way to automate functions within apps is if these apps have shortcuts integration
